Safety Tips

Avoid scams by acting locally or paying cash.

Beware of poorly-written English ads and replies. Most scams can originate overseas.

Always arrange for a safe place to meet and to finish a transaction.

Never pay with Western Union, Moneygram or other anonymous payment services that can't be traced.

Remember if an offer sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

Fraudulent people usually list an address that is different from the address on their item detail page. They will ask you where you are and give some different location far from you just to scam you into paying a reservation fee, etc.

Fraudsters will sell an expensive popular item at a suspiciously low price

Play it safe. Avoid Scammers

As a precaution, email contact has been disabled in this category because of scam attempts. If any ad does not contain a working phone number or the poster has forced their email address into the ad, the chances of it being legitimate are very low.Most of the time, transactions outside of your local area involving money orders, cashier checks, wire transfers or shipping, pet travel (please verify pet transport companies with the said companies, scammers only use legitimate transport companies logos, details, etc, but different emails and phone numbers, contact the companie personally by doing a google search for the said transport agency and make sure you are really busy with the real people!) are scams or frauds.Report all scam attempts to ads@petssa.co.za
